Morphology

homostyled = homostyle (semi-transparent) = homo + style + ed

Built by adding '-ed' to the technical noun 'homostyle' (homo- + style); the scientific prefix 'homo-' and domain-specific meaning make it somewhat technical for general learners.

Etymology

The word homostyled combines the prefix homo- ('same') with -styled from style ('the thin stalk inside a flower'), so a homostyled flower has all its styles at the same height.
